Default Write off


Well as some of you know I was knocked off my beloved SV650 Black Naked K5 acouple of weeks ago. The estimator came back to me yesterday with the gutting news of "sorry mate it's beyond economical repair, it's a cat c write off." the frame was bent along with the front end.

He's offered 2400 pounds for it though which I'm not too upset about as it had 15k on it.

I'm now looking for a new bike which has to be comfy, tourquey, commuter, tourer.
My list is:
Bandit 1250
Honda Deauville (don't laugh)
anything else you can suggest?

Theres a guy on my commute to work who rides one of these and now I'm not slow at filtering, but I have to move over for this guy as he goes through at 50 in stationary traffic.
